I absolutely agree you need routing. However, I disagree that your pool AP needs to route, as Michael postulated. Keep routing in the core, or as needed in the case of multi-homed end devices. However, that pool AP may need access to several subnets. I want my primary home network, my enterprise home network, and my guest network all accessible as SSIDs at that pool AP. That means trunking back to the home router, in my mind. I don't see any references to VLANs or any form of trunking in the Homenet drafts or the mailing list archives. Am I missing something?
